In the diabetic acidosis and prolonged vomiting examples, respiratory compensation for primary metabolic acidosis and alkalosis has occurred, and the Pco2 has shifted from 40 mm Hg. In the emphysema and high-altitude examples, renal compensation for primary respiratory acidosis and alkalosis has occurred and has made the deviations from normal of the plasma HCO3 larger than they would otherwise be.

Large quantities of osmotically active Produce osmotic diuresis. substances such as mannitol and glucose Xanthines such as caffeine and theophylline Acidifying salts such as CaCl2 and NH4Cl Decrease tubular reabsorption of Na+ and increase GFR. Supply acid load; H+ is buffered, but an anion is excreted with Na+ when the ability of the kidneys to replace Na+ with H+ is exceeded. Decrease H+ secretion, with resultant increase in Na+ and K+ excretion. Inhibit the Na Cl cotransporter in the early portion of the distal tubule. Inhibit the Na K 2Cl cotransporter in the medullary thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle Inhibit Na+ K+ "exchange" in the collecting ducts by inhibiting the action of aldosterone (spironolactone) or by inhibiting the ENaCs (amiloride).

Number One! Determine if the client is demonstrating an acidotic (remember: pH less than 7.35) or alkalotic (pH greater than 7.45). Number Two! What is the 'primary problem' If the client is acidotic with a PaC02 greater than 45 mmHg it is RESPIRATORY If the client is acidotic with a HC03 less than 22 mEq/L it is METABOLIC! If the client is alkalotic with a PaC02 less than 35 mmHg it is RESPIRATORY! If the client is alkalotic with a HC03 greater than 26 mEq/L it is METABOLIC! Number Three! Is the client compensating? Are both components (HCO3 and PaCO2) shifting in the same direction? Up or down the continuum? Above or below the normal ranges? If this is noted, you know that the client s buffering systems are functioning and are trying to bring the acid-base balance back to normal. Uncompensated pH abnormal (high or low)

One component abnormal (high or low CO2 or HCO3) The other component is normal (The component not causing the acidbase imbalance is still normal Partly compensated pH not normal (but moving toward normal) Both CO2 and HCO3 are outside normal range The component that was normal is changing in order to compensate Compensated pH normal Other values abnormal in opposite directions One is acidotic the other alkaline

Case Studies :: Case Study 1 A client recovering from surgery in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) is difficult to arouse two hours following surgery. The nurse in the PACU has been administering Morphine Sulfate intravenously to the client for complaints of post-surgical pain. The client s respiratory rate is 7 per minute and demonstrates shallow breathing. The patient does not respond to any stimuli!

The nurse assesses the ABCs (remember Airway, Breathing, Circulation!) and obtains ABGs STAT! The STAT results come back from the laboratory and show: pH = 7.15 Pa C02 = 68 mmHg HC03 = 22 mEq/L
